Don't get too excited, it looks like football - and the whole country - is going into hibernation.

Sam Woods is NOT a RB, he is an out & out CB, you'd be better off swapping him with Kelly in your line-up.

Personally like to see a coherent 11 being fielded even if it does mean a fair few under23's. No round pegs in square holes please Roy. COYP !!

I feel Sakho might not be risked due to the high probability of him picking up another injury which would scupper any move away.

MacCarthy has also barely featured despite being fit for a while. He used to be Roy's favourite 80th min substitute. So maybe there's some truth to the Celtic rumours.

Meyer may be another that we're surely desperate to shift so may not want to risk.

Tbh my priority would lie with shifting some of this expensive deadwood over being risked for a relatively meaningless cause. I'd rather take the punt on giving an u23 a bit of experience.

It is possible they might have a fringe starting XI for the game.They do have a number of teenagers who have been on the bench recently in the PL.

There’s got to be something going on we don’t know about involving Meyer and Hodgson. The fact that he doesn’t even make the bench any more no matter who’s missing makes me think he won’t be involved in this match either but I hope I’m wrong.
